Music

Enhancing the film’s 1970’s flavor is its extensive roots-inspired Country soundtrack, which features music by the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Phil Lee (“The Mighty King of Love”). Lee also performs onscreen in the role of Jimmy Earl, a down-on-his luck one-hit wonder (look for the clip below).

The movie includes a new recording of Lee’s “I’m The Why She’s Gone” by hard-core country maverick and Austin Music Hall of Famer Dale Watson, as well as scorching performances by country Academy of Country Music Awards nominees Jann Browne (“Ain’t No Train”) and Joy Lynn White (“One More Time”).

Below are samples and scenes with five songs from the movie’s 23 song soundtrack.

Dale Watson came up from Austin to work with Phil Lee to make a new old-school style recording of “I’m The Why She’s Gone” for the movie soundtrack. Here’s a sample of the result:
